Deep dive into US initial public offering (IPO) readiness

This event will explore the critical steps to prepare for a US IPO.

A successful IPO marks a pivotal milestone for any company. It requires the seamless alignment of finance, accounting and strong internal controls—signaling the shift from private to public ownership. In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, companies must navigate new challenges and trends while maintaining financial integrity. How can organizations strike the right balance between innovation and financial rigor to achieve a successful US IPO in such a dynamic environment?​

Join us at the first session this year of our US IPO seminar series, where we will explore the critical steps to prepare your company for a US IPO. In addition to sharing leading practices, we will also discuss insights from the EY Global DNA of the Financial Controller Survey – revealing how controllers are shifting their focus from value protection and optimization toward value creation.​
